In February, three members of our congregation, Darcy Eads, Pam Head, and Capri Zimmerman, traveled to Cuba with the Presbytery of Southern Kansas. They spent a week visiting with and worshiping with Cuban Presbyterians.  In March, a group of college-aged young adults and leaders traveled to Denver to serve with Urban Mission.

On April 7, you get to hear from both of these groups. Join us from 2-3 pm in the Grace Parlor for presentations and dessert.

Each year the Deacons host a ‘Super Senior’ party for all in the Grace community who are 85 and older.  This year our event is on March 23.  We gather at noon for lunch in the Great Room.

We’re excited to welcome a brass quintet from the Wichita Symphony as our entertainment.  The deacons invite Super Seniors to come in sports attire.  Our theme is March Madness as the event falls during basketball tournament time.  Invitations are mailed soon.  If you are a Super Senior and do not receive an invitation, please let us know.  RSVP to Catherine Neelly Burton, catherine@mygpc.org or 684-5215.\

    • Does the idea of talking about God intimidate you? Do you zone out when someone uses words like theology and sanctification?  Join Catherine Neelly Burton for three weeks of God Talk. Each week we’ll look at a different way of talking about faith and God.  The class meets in Room 103.
      • Week 1: What is God talk and who gets to do it?
      • Week 2: You think you get to tell me what to believe?
      • Week 3: Do we find God or does God find us?
